In 1969-71, as best I recall, there was an album that had a sepia cover and the drawing of a tree.
For decades I thought this was “under the Joshua Tree” but it is not. Can anyone recall the album to which I refer? Thank you in advance.
Eric Clapton’s 461 Ocean Boulevard is one that came to mind, but that was '74.
See if it is in this thread… Album covers with musicians posing around leafy trees | Steve Hoffman Music Forums
My memory is that it was the drawing of a tree, perhaps with roots, shades of tan. Thank you for the response but it looks like it is lost to the past.
Fleetwood Mac - Bare Trees - from 1972?

Thank you. It was very much like that except it was a single centered tree drawing, and the album name was above it. I swore it had been “under the joshua tree” which was several years later.
Thats it ! Damn that is it. Thank you so much. LOL I assumed it had been a false memory caused by PTSD.

A great record, too. Cheers!
It was not a tree, and it was not a Joshua, and it is Traffic …now if I can only determine if that spilled ink is a bat or a butterfly.

Great record - should have thought of that one myself!
The back story:
In 1970, I attempted to buy the album as part of the Record Club committment.
It was out of stock.
A few years later, I tried to buy it at the record store on University Blvd.
It sold out.
Life goes on. I forgot about the band name even though “Low Spark… “ later became one of my go-to albums.
And, as stated, all I retained was a fragmented memory of “an album with a tree on the cover.”

One of my favourite records , I had it on vinyl and CD , I would say it’s one that gets a monthly airing 
It’s “sheaf of barley” rather than a tree , you still see them in manually cropped areas . I had many “Barley Walks” to review this years crop in my days as a brewer (read excuse for a day in the country and beer !!)

Interesting how it was a partial memory. Played it yesterday only to find it was very familiar.
